Bluesky is down — Live updates on the ongoing outage
Social media users are having issues
This actually started hours ago
It's worth noting that while the biggest spike happened recently, this outage actually started more than 7 hours ago. It's an issue Bluesky has been working on for a long time, so hopefully, we're getting close to the end.
On the rise again...
And as quickly as the numbers went down, they started going up again on Downdetector. Presumably, the outage being limited to just a couple of servers means it's not hitting everyone, but as people are affected, they're logging into Downdetector to report that something isn't right.
It seems to be just a couple of servers
According to the Bluesky status page, two servers are experiencing issues. It mentions that api.pop1.bsky.app and api.pop2.bsky.app are both down. "The response took so long that the connection timed out," reads the status page.
Working fine for me
Bluesky is working well for me, so I'm not among the people still dealing with issues. But for those who are, hopefully the lower Downdetector report numbers means things are starting to come back to normal.
Dropping like a stone
The reports are dropping fast on Downdetector, currently sitting around 450 as of this post.
Bluesky acknowledges the outage
Bluesky was quick to acknowledge the issue on its status page, keeping its users up-to-date on what's happening with the popular social network.
The spike is spiking
While reports for Bluesky have risen and fallen all throughout the morning, it jumped to a much higher number at around 2,700 and then quickly dropped to 1,200. While it's lower than the peak, that's still a large number of reports and is definityely enough to think that something pretty serious is impacting Bluesky.
